I haven't tried using the spinner adapter yet, so I'm not sure, but it might be possible to do the following:
- Create a new object that holds both the city string and the number - Override the toString() method to return the city string - Pass the array of your new object type to the spinner - Then the spinner would return your object and you can get the number value from that Again, I don't know how the spinner adapter is set up exactly, but you might be able to get something like this to work. Hope that helps, Justin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
